It provided a great graph explaining the process of "flipping" a classroom.
In my classroom, I would love to used the flipped idea on a lesson where were speaking about Weight including using a scale, how to measure your BMI, etc.
BEFORE CLASS:
- I would first have my students log onto YouTube and watch this video before the next day's class on Weight and Nutrition:
- This video provides information on how to accurately figure out your BMI and give you an idea of what your "ideal" weight should be.
- After they have viewed the video, I would have them visit the site below to learn techniques on how to properly take measures of your body.
- I would then have them visit this site and read the information on "The Five Ways to Reach and Maintain A Healthy Weight" :
DURING CLASS:
- Students will get in groups of two, measure each other's body measurements and figure out their BMI after scaling their weight and determining the height of their body after body measurements. There will be no directions in figuring our BMI or how to properly use a measuring tape, as they should have figured this out the night before. Their recordings will be written down on a hand-out I will provide in class. ( This will take about 30- 35 min.)
- I will grade this handout to determine if they accurately measured each of their BMI.
- After the activity, students will be quizzed on the knowledge they retained from their readings on how to reach or maintain a healthy weight. This quiz will be graded and verify to me whether they did the readings and understand the concepts of the topic. (The quiz should take about 10-15 minutes because it will be in essay form).
AFTER CLASS:
- Students will go home and record 3 other individuals BMI on a worksheet provided and turn it in the next day. This will show me that they really understand how to find the BMI!
